How it works
Each state sets its own bands and rates. First home buyers often get a full or partial exemption up to a threshold, and foreign buyers typically pay an additional surcharge duty on top of the standard rate.
Calculation methodology
This calculator applies the selected state's progressive transfer duty bands to your property value, then adds any applicable foreign-buyer surcharge or first-home-buyer concession.
Exemptions & reliefs
First home buyer concessions vary significantly by state and are usually capped at a maximum property value, above which standard rates resume.
Recent rule changes
Rates reflect each state's schedule effective from July 2024.
